I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

Jakobi

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am currently applying for medical school and working towards a masters in public health. I have experience working with many different ages ranging from middle school to college level students. Most of my experience is with math and sciences as well as test prep for English ACT exams. I can tutor in math (pre calculus, trigonometry, algebra, geometry) sciences (biological sciences, chemistry, physics) and English. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because it is like a puzzle, and who does not like a good puzzle? My teaching philosophy consists of learning about the students' interests and providing a way to relate their interests into the work they are doing so it can be more meaningful to them. I have found that the more a subject means to a student personally, the better they do in the subject. So, in this way it is possible to turn a subject weakness into a strength and passion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Nashville's five school districts serve over 57,000 students across 167 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand the curriculum and standards across all of them. Whether your student attends a school in Metro Nashville Public Schools, a charter school, or a private institution, we can match them with a tutor familiar with their specific coursework and academic goals.

Nashville students frequently seek support in math, English/language arts, standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), and science—subjects that form the foundation for college readiness and career success. We also work with students on Tennessee-specific assessments and help them master content aligned with state standards. Whatever your student's academic needs, we can connect you with a tutor who specializes in that area.

With an 18.3:1 student-teacher ratio across Nashville schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to close learning gaps or accelerate. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style, pace, and challenges—something that's difficult in a classroom setting. Research shows that personalized tutoring significantly boosts student outcomes, especially for students who need targeted support or enrichment.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific goals (whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or mastering a difficult concept), and identify areas where they need the most support. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and learning style. Most students feel more confident and clear about their path forward after that initial meeting.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Tennessee's academic standards and how they're applied across Nashville's schools. Whether your student needs help with Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) preparation, state-aligned coursework, or meeting grade-level benchmarks, tutors can provide targeted instruction that aligns with what's expected in your student's classroom and on state assessments.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We work with families across Nashville to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we'll discuss your needs and help match you with tutors at price points that work for your family.

Yes. Tutors understand that Nashville students are busy with school, sports, music, and other commitments. Personalized instruction is scheduled at times that work for your family—whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school breaks. This flexibility ensures tutoring supports your student's schedule rather than adding stress.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and proven experience helping students succeed. Many have backgrounds in education, hold advanced degrees, or have specialized experience in test prep and academic support. Each tutor is selected based on their ability to teach effectively and connect with students, ensuring a great fit for your student's learning needs.
